Disturbing scenes as Toulouse star Romain Ntamack stretchered off after sickening tackle and fall

(Source/Canal+)

In a stark reminder of just how dangerous the game can be, Toulouse and French star Romain Ntamack was stretchered off the field after a horrific concussion in his side’s Top 14 semi-final win over Bordeaux.

There were immediate concerns for Ntamack’s safety after a sickening fall that occurred after being knocked out during a rush tackle from centre Ulupano Seuteni.

The flyhalf collapsed with his head bowed, and then took a second head knock as he hit the ground leading to concerns about his neck. The incident halted play as match doctors rushed to Ntamack’s assistance before stretchering him off.

The scare was tempered somewhat by Ntamack giving the crowd a thumbs up as he left the field, but the blow will rule Ntamack out indefinitely and the sight of Ntamack on the turf was a haunting look for the game trying to rule out such instances.

Toulouse head coach Ugo Mola indicated as much in the after-match press conference, saying it would be ‘difficult’ for him to line up in the final. He said that there will be other finals for Ntamack, and the club will not risk his health.

It was a much-needed response from the club official, not downplaying the severity of the incident and putting Ntamack’s health first.

Mola spoke of the experience of Yoann Huget, who’s career was ended with an injury, as a key reason why they could not rush Ntamack back.

“It will be difficult to have Romain Ntamack on the team sheet on Friday night for the final,” said Toulouse coach Ugo Mola.

“To say that Romain Ntamack was not knocked out would be heresy. The last one who was not knocked out was unfortunately seriously injured the following week and was forced to retire from sports due to an injury: it is Yoann Huget.

“So in any case, we won’t take any risk with Romain’s health. He’s a young guy. I can understand the urge to play a final. But a 22 year old guy, with his talent and the friends he has, I have the impression that he will play others in the finals.

“So we are not going to take any risks and it is the medical profession that will decide.”

Bordeaux were leading 15-14 when the tackle occurred, but Seutini was red carded for the incident reducing his side to 14-men for the final twenty minutes.

Toulouse fought to a 24-21 win setting up a rematch with La Rochelle for the Top 14 final, a side they beat to claim the European title last month.

SECURE YOUR LOST INVESTMENTS- TRUST ONLINE CRYPTO RECOVERY SOLUTION

After months of meticulous research, I cautiously invested $188,000 into a binary options platform that promised steady returns. At the time, I was living in California, a place where I’d worked tirelessly to build my life and savings. For weeks, I monitored my account, reassured by the platform’s professional interface and seemingly legitimate operations. Encouraged by initial gains, I grew optimistic until the day I attempted my first withdrawal. The transaction stalled, and panic surged as I realized my funds were trapped. I immediately contacted customer support via every channel listed: emails went unanswered, calls rang endlessly, and live chat options mysteriously vanished. Days turned into weeks, my anxiety deepening with each ignored plea. Then, an unsettling email arrived: to “unlock” withdrawals, I was told to deposit an additional $50,000. The demand felt predatory, a glaring red flag. Refusing to comply, I confronted the grim truth—I’d been ensnared in an elaborate scam. The aftermath was crushing. Nights were sleepless, my mind racing with regret and anger. I replayed every decision, tormented by the loss of hard-earned savings meant to secure my family’s future. Friends urged me to accept the loss, but resignation felt like surrender. Months later, while scouring online forums for solutions, I stumbled upon a thread praising Crypto Recovery Solution. Skeptical yet desperate, I devoured countless testimonials stories mirroring my own, with endings I scarcely dared to believe. With trembling resolve, I reached out. Their team responded within hours, radiating empathy. They requested transaction records, communication logs, and platform details, guiding me through each step with clarity. Though doubts lingered, their transparency stood in stark contrast to the shadowy operators who’d stolen my trust. Then, the impossible happened: 32 hours later, I received confirmation that my entire $188,000 had been recovered. Tears of relief blurred my screen as I verified the funds in my account. Crypto Recovery Solution hadn’t just restored my savings, they'd restored my faith in justice. This ordeal taught me harsh lessons about vigilance in the digital age. Yet it also revealed the power of resilience and the critical importance of seeking help. To anyone trapped in the nightmare of financial fraud, I urge you: act swiftly, document everything, and trust in experts like Crypto Recovery Solution. They are beacons of hope in an increasingly complex world, turning despair into redemption when it matters most.
